Sue has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cutting. Calculate the area
of the polygon. Be sure to show all your work and explain your answer. Six-sided polygon that includes two isosceles right triangles, one with height and base of 25 feet, the other height and base of 8 feet, and one rectangle measuring 35 feet by 8 feet.
<span>Six-sided polygon that includes two isosceles right triangles, one with height and base of 25 feet, triangle1 area= height * base /2 </span>triangle1 area= 25* 25/2= 312.5 <span> the other height and base of 8 feet, </span>triangle2 area= height * base /2 triangle2 area= 8* 8/2= 32 <span> and one rectangle measuring 35 feet by 8 feet </span>rectangle area= height * base rectangle area= 35* 8= 280
Total area= triangle1 area + triangle2 area + rectangle area= 312.5+ 32+280= 624.5
